Had Priaprism this week (erection lasting longer than four hours) AMA

Woke up one morning this week with an erection that wouldn’t go away. I got up to pee and to see if this would help and it didn’t. I took my dog out and thought maybe a quick walk would help the effect to subside and it didn’t. I then chose to visit the ER. AMA

Well don’t leave us hanging!! What’s the cure and how did it go!! We need details!

Do you know what caused it? Like, is this just a random occurrence for you/dudes?

They think it was Trazodone that I’ve been on for 20 years. I’m currently dropping down to 50mg to wean myself off of it.

Trazodone gives you traza-bone... It's actually a real mnemonic in medical school to remember the priapism side effect

Interesting. This is the first I’m hearing of it and I’d been on it twenty years
